Nokia Lumia 1520 date edges closer

Last month when Nokia sent out invitations for an event in Abu Dhabi, rumours immediately started that this would be the place where the Finnish firm would announce its Lumia 1520 mobile phone.

That date is less than two weeks away now and many think the six-inch handset will be the first Windows Phone to bring a quad-core processor and full-HD display.

According to NokiaPoweruser, a screenshot on Twitter claimed to be the unannounced Lumia smartphone. The leak calls the device the Nokia Lumia 1520, as well as giving details about the display.

The image indicates that the Lumia 1520 will bring the rumoured full-HD, 1080 x 1920 screen, which will put it on a level playing field with Samsung's Galaxy Note 3.

What we do know for certain is, that this device will be the first to be launched since Microsoft took over the Finnish firm's smartphone department. The release, expected on October 22nd, could also indicate what the Windows-owned company has in-store for the future.
